Raymond Chandler
“had my books been any worse I would not have been invited to Hollywood and if they had been any better I would not have come.”
Raymond Chandler

Anthony Doerr
“Leave home, leave the country, leave the familiar. Only then can routine experience—buying bread, eating vegetables, even saying hello—become new all over again.”
Anthony Doerr

Nora Roberts
“Shall I tell you what rock and roll is, Johnno, from someone who doesn't perform, but observes?
It's restless and rude. It's defiant and daring. It's a fist shaken at age. It's a voice that often screams out questions because the answers are always changing. The very young play it because they're searching for some way to express their anger or joy, their confusion and their dreams. Once in a while, and only once in a while, someone comes along who truly understands, who has the gift to transfer all those needs and emotions into music.”
Nora Roberts, Public Secrets

Jeffrey Eugenides
“Here it comes, I thought. The first ex-boyfriend had been summoned. Soon the rest would follow. They would file around the table, presenting their deficiencies, telling of their addictions, their cheating hearts... But that didn't happen with Julie. This was because Julie isn't husband-hunting. So she didn't have to interview me for the job.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

Andrew  Davidson
“while some may doubt whether there be a God at all, nobody supposes that there is more than one.”
Andrew Davidson, The theology of the Old Testament
